Part One

"Please don't do this to me," pleaded the poor girl. "Please let me go please... please why do you have to do this to me?" she sobbed. After the beating, her clothes were ripped and she was covered in blood. “Why? Did you inquire as to why? "You bitch... because I can," he replied. "What are you waiting for, guys?" "Let's get this party started," he said, motioning for the other guys to strip. He was holding a bottle of wine in his other hand.

"What are you up to?" "No no nooooo," she screamed, pleading for mercy. She fights as hard as she can, but it's too late. She was naked after they stripped her. And they each take turns raping her. She was no longer able to struggle by the time the fourth guy entered her; she had run out of energy. She was emotionless as she lay on the cold floor. Her tears are no longer wet. She only knew she had to save herself. She needs to flee. "Please guys, you got what you wanted, just let me go," she pleaded. "Are you insane? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Should I let you go?

Are you out of your mind? You’ll go to the police if we let you go” said one of the men. “Yes, we cannot let that happen you know,” said the other one. “What.. what do you mean? I promise I won’t tell anyone… I’ll go away.. far away from here. I will disappear. If that you want but please let me go” she begged. “Yes you will disappear we’ll make sure of it don’t worry too much about it, we make sure of it,” said one of them while spitting on her face. 

“Get me the rope” instruct one of the guys. “Let’s make it as you kill yourself because you cheated on me girl,” said the guy. He was the poor girl’s boyfriend. He was the mastermind of this whole situation. He had planned it for some time now. “Nooooooo nooooo let me go you bastard..” she shouted. She was struggling for he life. “Oh don’t waste our time now, hang her now it’s almost morning,” said her boyfriend. She was hanging on the tree. She kept struggling. The rope becomes tighter every time she struggles. She was out of breath. “You will pay what you did to me…. You will pay…” she said between the breaths. Before she can even finish her word, the was a crack. The struggle has caused her neck to break. She was lifeless. Tears flow from her eyes. The four of them just stand there watching. There is no emotion or remorse in their eyes at all as if this was not their first time. After a while “I think she’s dead take her down we need to get rid of her body elsewhere” said the boyfriend. “We just dumb her body at the park then, there are not so many people there right now,” said the other. “Alright, let's go now we don’t want others to see us here”. 

And there she was, her body was found by a passerby who sent their children to the park in the morning. It shocked the whole campus. The management has decided to close down the park for good. Nobody suspected any foul-play in her death as they found a handwritten note by her side. She committed suicide. After a while, the story was forgotten. No one even remembers her name. To them, it is just another bad incident and life goes on as usual for them. That was some 4 years ago. 

Room 201- present time.

The door was pushed open. There stood Alex smiling like crazy people. His roommates Jason and Brandon were puzzled as to why he was so happy lately. They looked at each other and asked “you appear to be in a good mood lately. What's the occasion?” “Did you win a lottery or something? Tell me how much did you win?”.  Alex just went straight to his bed and laid down before he spoke “I met a girl”. He continued “she so pretty and sweet” Jason was delighted to hear that his roommate finally found someone. “Damn Alex you didn't tell us before. When did you guys meet? And where? Is she a student here?” asked Jason with excitement. “Nah, I just met her, I didn't say we know each other well but we click,” said Alex with a grin on his face. “Huhuhuhu, you better get her fast bro, you have been single like since you were born.. ahahahahahahaha,” said Brandon. They all laugh at his remark. “What's her name by the way?” Brandon asks? “Hurmmmm, Alicia,” said Alex. They talk for a while before Alex decided to wash up before going to sleep. He spends quite some time in the shower thinking of what Alicia is doing. He wanted to text her but they did not exchange phone numbers so he can only let his mind wander. He remembers the first time he met her, it was a few weeks ago. He was on his way back to his room after spending some time at the library. He had to as it was raining heavily. It was 10 past nine and while he was walking past the park, he saw a girl playing at the swing. At first, he was terrified as he had heard a few stories about the park but it was all gone when the girl turn around and smile at him. She was like an angel. Her smile was the sweetest. At least to Alex. All the scary story he had heard previously was gone because of the smile. Alex froze. He doesn't know how to respond. Suddenly the girl asks “are you alright?”. Alex was embarrassed. He just smile and said “oh I'm alright, what are you doing here?” He asked. “I'm playing the swing if you don't mind,” she said with a gentle and soft voice. It was the voice of an angel. “Ohhh ok ok..” Alex was lost in the words. He was awkward. He had never talked to a woman alone previously.
